the 12g202 head and twin 1" 1/4 carbs is what I would like to do with my 998 stage 1 kitted mini

I'll be keeping my eye on you

[stocky]

Ive been told that the 12g202 is a fairly good addition to a 998 without going mental and machining blanks and pockets like for a 1275 head upgrade, (12g940??? maybe?) and I really like the look of twin carbs, hopefully the engine bay will look smart once Ive done that and tarted it up abit

Im still abit new to this so Its all a good learning curve for me, which is what I want cant beat working on old cars and being up to your elbows in oil

[stocky]

How did I miss a fellow Bostonite? Welcome to TMF!

I'm a part time Bostonite nowadays but return to the homeland often enough to make people think I still live there. I'm sure you'll get a wave from Vern when he's back with the John Adams Way queuing massive.

Hope you find TMF useful and have fun

[stocky]

In fact I have actually met you Bec, I met up with the boston mini massive in wetherspoons, meet with scrog all the time

But yes if I see you on Johns adams way, I will wave! Or anywhere else for that matter, altho I do usually skip it if can as its no fun going along there in rush hour traffic

See ya around

[Bec]

...uh-oh sorry, were my eyes focusing?

We'll have to get another Boston mini (and alternative transport - scrog) massive meet sorted

I agree with skipping it, I used to work the other side of Boston to my mum and dad so drove along the back roads near Frithville and Langrick, made the journey so much more fun!
